[146] Terry’s Voyage, 377. Terry’s details seem not to agree with Roe’s who states (Kerr’s Voyages, IX. 344 and Pinkerton’s Voyages, VIII. 37): I was invited to the drinking, but desired to be excused because there was no avoiding drinking, and their liquors are so hot that they burn out a man’s very bowels. Perhaps the invitation Roe declined was to a private drinking party after the public weighing was over. [↑]
[147] Roe in Kerr’s Voyage, IX. 347; Elphinstone’s History, 494. Kerr (IX. 347) gives September 2 but October 2 is right. Compare Pinkerton’s Voyages, VIII. 39. [↑]
[148] Ruins of Mándu, 57. As the emperor must have passed out by the Dehli Gate, and as Roe’s lodge was two miles from Báz Bahádur’s palace, the lodge cannot have been far from the Dehli Gate. It is disappointing that, of his many genial gossipy entries Jehángír does not devote one to Roe. The only reference to Roe’s visit is the indirect entry (Wa’kiăt-i-Jehángíri in Elliot, VI. 347) that Jehángír gave one of his nobles a coach, apparently a copy of the English coach, with which, to Jehángír’s delight, Roe had presented him.
